So Many Key Layout Options!

Rather new to mechanical keyboards. This was my first built keyboard and first time soldering. Wasn't too bad since it was only the switches and MCU that had to be done. Over all enjoyed the process of soldering, learning some QMK to manually program my board with custom macros and tinkering around with designing my own 3D printed case. For me, the only thing missing on this build was backlighting.

Hi SomeZ, I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed building our biggest ortholinear, the BFO-9000! It's a big project for your first solder board, great work! If you'd like to try backlighting, there are pins on the board that allow for a connection with an RGB strip. Check out our lights we offer on our Supplies & Parts page! Feel free to email us if you'd like any pointers. Thanks so much for your review!
Happy typing,
Kayla at Keebio!

Worth the learning curve

This is my first mechanical keyboard and soldering job - still i made it work on first try. Leadfreesolder with flux. I had problems with cheap microcontrollers at first so dont skimp if you have no idea, its not worth it having to desolder a fake lol

i still have to figure out hotswap switches and would argue the case is totally big enough to fit hotswap sockets for your controller even with low profile - theres like 4-5mm space still so using tape you can totally make sure it wont short and still recover in the case of controller failure.

Then BIGGEST ISSUE is that there are NO 2u or 3u low profile PSA style keycaps. Plan accordingly!! You have to use 1u kind everywhere!!

I also have a hard time figuring out how to utilize the through-hole LEDs as they seem to be wired with the diodes so the light up from scanning but i doubt they can be addressed individually? Also i have no idea how to fit them like this into the switch as the hole for LEDs is usually at the bottom of the switch to be used with SMD presoldered LEDs it seems.

Still i consider the build a success and even have 4 plates spare for further iterations.

Thanks so much for making split keyboards with >100 keys possible, i never have to use layers if i don't want to which is great!!

Also please stock in the EU the customs on these were killing me lol

My Dream Board

I got this as a replacement for the Sinc after developing some strain injuries, and already it feels so, so much better. Finding this board was like finding a unicorn in a giant stack of donkeys - every other board was either too small, didn't support QMK properly, or only allowed traditional switches. I was already sold once I saw the layout, but the fact that you can choose any kind of switch makes this a miracle PCB. Also, they have shockingly good customer support. I'm not a fan of Via, so I asked them if they'd be willing to try getting me a copy of a Vial compilation and they had it to me within a day. Keep up the good work, guys!

Hi Kurt,
Thanks so much for your thoughtful review! Glad to hear you've found injury relief with the BFO-9000! It’s a great compliment for the BFO to be your unicorn keyboard! Your kind words about our support means the world to the team.
Happy Typing,
Kayla at Keebio!

Favorite Ortho

Have used a BFO-9000 as my daily driver now for a couple years and have been eyeing another one for a while now for my work computer. I keep trying other layouts but having every key I could possibly need all the time has come in very handy. No issues during build or flashing.

Hi Nick,
Stoked to hear your BFO-9000 has been serving you faithfully over the years! Nothing can beat a keyboard with every key you need! We now have the Rev. 1.5 PCB for the BFO now which adds more possibilities, and more microcontrollers today than we had a few years ago.
Happy Typing,
Kayla at Keebio!
